Looking healthy and robust as ever, Con-
gresham Edmund Rice returned yesterday.
after a two months visit to Washington.
Already his laborS have commenced in be-
half of his constituents, and while at the
national capital he frequently found it nee
eSSary to visit the pensions and postotice
departments. He was cordially welcomed
by President Cleveland and all the members
OF the cabinet.
president Cleveland is strong man"
said the eS-mayor. last night, land his desire
is TO carry through the administration with
due regard for principles of right and justice.
In his convictions of duty and the proper
conception of just government he may be too
strong for the politicians, out he will always
be popular with the people. He is spoken of
more than any one else assthe Democratic
nominee for 1883. The only two men l have
heard of are himself and Gov Hill, of New
York. No possible candidate for vice
president has been mentioned by the
Democrats, unless it is Joe Blackburn, of
Kentucky, mentioned in connection with
Hill. The Republicans talk about Sherman,
Blaine and Allison, of Iowa; and Alison. who
dent nobody has been talked about definitely,
unless it is Charley Foster, of Ohio, who is
mentioned in connection with Blaine"
"Wtatever ma be the motives attributed
TO Secretary Manning for his resignation. l
AM convinced that ill health was his only rea-
son. 1t is hard to say who the president Will
appoint for his successor, and, indeed, do
not know whether he knows himself. If he
does he don't say anything about it. Some
say Speaker Carlyle is Il candidate for the
place, others that the acting secretary, Mr..
Fairchild, will get it. Mr.. Manning was a
very able man, and il will be difficult to fill
his place."

Michigan, who organized the law department.
of the Michigan university, and is a law writer
of considerable note. and he is a very con.
scientious man. The fact that he has given
up the receivership of the Wabash road,
where he was getting $4,000 year. to take
an office at $500 per year, shows that he
must be an extraordinary man. l pre-
dict in the end, that the interstate
bill will result in benefit to the peo-
pie generally. OF course, it may
is rather hard to tell what it means-the long
and short haul clause is somewhat ambig-
uOus; but on the whole l think it will work
all right, with tie commission we have. I
bad some little business to do for the Chip
pewa Indians. There are some matters to
settle up regarding the REIMBURSEMENT OF
their lands, and moving on to to the White
Earth reservation. l don't apprehend
any trouble in getting all the
Minnesota Indians to go the
White Earth reservation. AS to the Beaulieu
difficulty the president just now sustains In
dian Agent Sheehan. He says notwithstand
ing the agents order may have been cruel
and harsh, the law must be respected and
Mr.. Sheehan, no matter how bad he may
have beeu, represents the department for
The time being. But, ventured Mr.. Rice, 1
am inclined to think that after full investi-
CATION, it will be found that Mr..
Sheehan may have acted rather
hastg, and it may result in his
ultimate removal. I don't believe the pres
ident contemplates any changes in the ST.
Pail postotfice, and l feel positive that DR..
Day will serve until the expiration of his
commission. Capt. }. D. Wood wanted to be
weigher of mails; then he was DESTROYS of
filling Capt Beams place, but l think the
president is satisfied with the way
the St. Paul mail service is con-
ducted and he will not make any
changes. Indeed, 1t seems to be his police to
allow Republican incumbents who have
proved their fitness and are without blemish.

expiration of their terms of office"
The weather at Washington was rather
unpleasant during my stay. and at first my
health was poor, but grew better toward the
last. and now i feel pretty WE'LL
